Early labour! FTM

Hi everyone, hope you’re all okay and getting ready for your November babies! I’ve been in so much pain the last 4 days or so and have been told I’m in early stages of labour at 37+2. Has anyone been told this?

Hi Megan. What sort of pain are you feeling? I’ve started having cramps and period type pains to the point I do feel like I’m on my period. Wondering if it might be early labour. Seeing the midwife tomorrow so I’ll see what she says.

@Sally hey! Ive had period like cramps, back pain, thigh pain. Lots of pressure down below (front and back) Ive also lost some of my mucus plug. X

Hey! Since this afternoon I've been having period cramps, back pain and thigh pain and so much pressure!! Is this labour or? X

@Caitlin time the cramps, if they are regular and don't stop then it's labour. The contractions app will tell you when to go to hospital

@Rebecca which app?x

@Sally mine started off as period cramps but really intensified. You'll know when you're in labour the contractions will take your breath away and probably won't be able to talk through them. You can time them on an app if regular and the app will tell you when to go into hospital

@Caitlin contractions timer and counter

@Rebecca thank you just downloaded

Heard that if you’re having pain, a long warm shower should tell you if it’s labour or not. If it’s not labour the pain will just go away, but if pains get worse, then that’s you in active labour
